盎缶停涵水一泓,中存雅意超器形。
欲滴未滴天地寂,须臾宫商若相赓。
妙趣不劳徽外索,泛声不自弦上生。
小点恩怨作儿语,大点九皋闻鹤鸣。
疎数变化似有节,多是洋洋流水音。
残沥断续楚天晓,余响勾引南风薰。
平生筝笛厌郑卫,羌借古韵洗古心。
又不如齁{鼻合}北窗睡,两耳不听无亏成。
盎缶停涵水一泓,中存雅意超器形。
欲滴未滴天地寂,须臾宫商若相赓。
妙趣不劳徽外索,泛声不自弦上生。
小点恩怨作儿语,大点九皋闻鹤鸣。
疎数变化似有节,多是洋洋流水音。
残沥断续楚天晓,余响勾引南风薰。
平生筝笛厌郑卫,羌借古韵洗古心。
又不如齁{鼻合}北窗睡,两耳不听无亏成。
瓦罐中静静地盛着一泓清水,
其中存有的高雅意趣超越了器物本身的外形。
水滴将落未落之际,天地一片寂静;
片刻之后,宫商音律仿佛相互应和而起。
美妙的趣味无需向琴徽之外寻求,
泛起的声响也并非从琴弦上产生。
细小的水滴声如同孩童的絮语,带着些许恩怨;
大的水滴声犹如鹤鸣于九皋,清亮悠远。
疏密变化仿佛自有节拍,
大多像是洋洋洒洒的流水之音。
残滴断续,直至楚地的天空破晓;
余音袅袅,勾引来温暖的南风。
平生听惯了筝笛的郑卫俗音,早已厌倦,
姑且借这古老的韵致来洗涤古老的心境。
又不如在北窗下酣然入睡,
两耳不闻,也就无所谓得失亏成。
A jar holds still a pool of water deep,
Its elegance transcends the vessel's keep.
Before the drop falls, heaven and earth are hushed;
Then notes of music rise as if they gushed.
Its charm needs no string's touch beyond the norm,
Nor does the floating sound from strings take form.
Soft drips like children's whispers, slight and sweet;
Loud drips like cranes on marshlands call, replete.
Their sparse or dense changes as if keeping time,
Mostly like flowing water's rhythm and rhyme.
Driplets break off as dawn lights southern sky;
Their echoes lure the warm south wind to sigh.
All my life, zither and flute I've held in scorn,
And borrow ancient tones my heart to adorn.
Better still, to snore by the north window deep,
With both ears closed, no gain or loss to keep.
水涵雅意超越器形,隐喻认知的升华过程。
以水琴为喻,赞器物涵雅超形,寄托高洁脱俗的审美理想。
本诗为七言古诗,押平声韵。
